For you, I longed, in every breath,
For lifetimes,
Those infinite cycles of birth and death.
You gave me not your soothing touch,
For ages,
Those moments in sorrow, that pain, so much.
For your voice, my heart longed, in every beat,
For years,
Those moments spent alone in silent retreat.
You called me not, with your melodious tone,
For what felt like time infinite,
Your light I was never shown.
After all that wait, the moment had to arrive,
That taste, for which I chose to strive.
Like a lightning you came,your voice, the thunder,
Struck by awe I was, your glory, the wonder.
Lifetimes of thirst, quenched in a moment divine,
One with you I became, barriers broken, that dividing line.
The fool I was, looking for you in a place distant,
You were right here, within me, every instant, the presence, constant.
All this while I was looking the wrong way,
That step within, I took this day.
A fish I was in your divine sea,
Swimming,
Looking for water, that which was always all around me.
